About Key2Stay

We believe your property can do two things at once.

Key2Stay is a London-based property company that provides guaranteed rent for landlords and safe, stable homes for vulnerable people. We've built our business on the belief that those two outcomes aren't in tension — they're the same deal.

Our story

Built to bridge a gap nobody else was bridging.

Key2Stay was founded with a straightforward observation: thousands of landlords in London were leaving income on the table — worrying about voids, chasing rent, fielding maintenance calls — while at the same time, local authorities were struggling to find quality homes for people who desperately needed them.

We believed there was a better way. One where landlords could earn a reliable, hands-off income, and that same property could provide a safe, stable home for a vulnerable family. Not a compromise. The same deal, working for everyone.

That's still the idea behind everything we do — in social housing, in serviced accommodation, and in every partnership we build across London and the UK.

We started by solving a real problem.

London has a housing crisis. Thousands of vulnerable people — families in emergency need, people escaping difficult situations, key workers priced out of the market — are on waiting lists that move too slowly. We work with local authorities to change that, sourcing and managing quality properties on their behalf. Landlords get guaranteed rent. Families get a home. Everyone wins.

Then we found a smarter way to let.

For landlords with the right property, short-term lets consistently outperform standard tenancies by up to 45%. The catch has always been the operational complexity. We remove that entirely — managing every booking, every guest, every clean — so the landlord simply receives their income each month.

What we stand for

Your income, guaranteed.

Fixed monthly payments, every month, whether your property is occupied or not. No voids, no surprises, no chasing payments.

Property with purpose.

Every property we manage is a home for someone who genuinely needs it. Landlords earn their income; we make sure it makes a difference too.

Transparent partnerships.

We say what we'll do and we do what we say. No hidden fees, no opaque processes, no surprises. Just clear agreements and people you can actually reach.

Let's find the right solution for your property.
